On August 28, 1998 the BoCC adopted Resolution No. 72-98 establishing the Jefferson County Comprehensive Land Use Plan in accordance with the Growth Management Act Chapter 36.70A RCW. 2. The Comprehensive Plan established the Port Ludlow Master Planned Resort. The Comprehensive Plan contains policies in LNG 25.0 of Land Use and Rural element, which maintain the viability of Port Ludlow as Jefferson County's first Master Planned Resort (MPR) and only MPR established pursuant to RCW 36.70A.362 3. On May 8th, 2000 the BoCC adopted Resolution No. 42-00 establishing a Port Ludlow Development Agreement (PLDA) with land owner Pope Resources pursuant to Chapter 36.70B.170 & 36.70A RCW. 4. Section 4.6, Exhibit A of the PLDA allows the PLDA to be amended with the express written consent of the BoCC and Pope, or its successors in title (Port Ludlow Associates) by ordinance or resolution only after public notice and a public hearing. 5. On March 28, 2008 Jefferson County received an application to amend the PLDA to eliminate the Appellate Hearing Examiner or "closed record appeal" step from the process a project permit application undergoes pursuant to the PLDA. 6. The purpose ofthe proposed amendment was to eliminate the existing requirement that any project permit application submitted by Port Ludlow Associates be potentially subject to both an open record hearing and a subsequent closed record appeal. State law allows local governments such as this County to not include a closed record appeal in their project permit application process. 7. Based upon a recommendation by the Department of Community Development, the BoCC approved the application to review the proposed amendment and scheduled the required public hearing. RESOLUTION NO, 57-08 Page: 2 8. On May 27, 2008 the public hearing was held by the BoCC and public testimony was received. Testimony both in support of and in opposition to the proposed amendment was received by the BoCC. 9. On July 7, 2008 the BoCC approved Amendment No. I to Port Ludlow Development Agreement (attached hereto as Exhibit A). The vote to approve was unanimous. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of County Commissioners, Jefferson County, Washington, as follows: 1.0 The adoption of Amendment No. I of Port Ludlow Development Agreement (AFN 536369) of lands owned by Port Ludlow Associates (legal description of property is Exhibit I of the PLDA AFN 435974) and located in Jefferson County furthers the public's health, safety and welfare by eliminating the Appellate Hearing Examiner process from the PLDA, which is consistent with the land use procedures found in the Unified Development Code (Title 18 Jefferson County Code) as applied to all property located within unincorporated Jefferson County. 2.0 The Board intends that the Amendment No.1 approved by this Resolution shall apply only to all land owned by Port Ludlow Associates within the Port Ludlow Master Planned Resort, to the extent permitted by law. 3.0 Effective Date.

This Amendment amends and modifies that certain Port Ludlow Development Agreement dated May 1,2000, and effective May 8, 2000 (the "Agreement"), between Pope Resources, Olympic Property Group LLC, Olympic Resorts LLC, Olympic Water and Sewer, Inc., and Olympic Real Estate Development LLC (collectively "Pope") and the County, which was recorded in the real property records of Jefferson County, Washington, under Auditor's File No. 435974. RECITALS A. The Agreement is a development agreement underRCW 36.70B.170 and UDC 18.40.850. Pope and the County made the Agreement effective May 8, 2000. PLA is the assignee and successor to Pope under the Agreement. B. The Agreement governs the development of real property owned by PLA and located in the approximately 1,200-acre Port Ludlow MPR, which is a master planned resort designated by Jefferson County in 1998 under the authority of RCW 36.70A.362. C. The parties agreed in the Agreement, among other things, that "The review and approval of proposed development applications proposed by Pope for Pope Property shall be pursuant to the Port Ludlow MPR Zoning Ordinance (Appendix A) and the County's Land Use Procedures Ordinance, Ordinance 04-0828-98, which is attached in Appendix E." Agreement Section 3.12.1. D. The County's Land Use Procedures Ordinance, Ordinance 04-0828-98 ("LUPO"), provides that the Appellate Examiner shall decide appeals of Hearing Examiner (Type B) decisions. E. On July 10,2006, the County adopted Ordinance No. 08-0710-06, in which the County eliminated the Appellate Examiner position, eliminated the administrative process by which Hearing Examiner decisions may be appealed to the Appellate Examiner, and made other amendments to the Jefferson County Unified Development Code. However, because the Agreement provides that LUPO governs the review and approval of development applications proposed by PLA within the PLA Property, Ordinance No. 08-0710-06 generally does not apply to development applications proposed by PLA. F. PLA and the County desire to modify the procedures for the review and approval of development applications proposed by PLA for its real property within the Port Ludlow MPR DWT 2292768vl 0065364-000001 5,6.08 2 11111111111111111111 II :~2~~~i~31" Jefferson Count v !=Iud PORT LUDLOW AS50CIAT AMEND 49_01Z1 by eliminating the Appellate Examiner position and the administrative process by which Hearing Examiner decisions may be appealed to the Appellate Examiner, in order to promote administrative economy, to reduce County costs in completing administrative land use decision- making processes, to reduce the time required to complete administrative land use decision- making processes, and to make such procedures consistent with the procedures for the review and approval of development applications proposed by other applicants in Jefferson County.
